An old soldier says that when the gradu-
ates of West Point Military Academy are
first assigned to duty but few of them know
anything about tactics. 1t seems that less
attention is paid to military science at West
Point than to any other subject. This is
strange, considering that the academy was
established in order that the art of war
might be taught.

Union troops, he says, were all mustered into
the Federal service; the States, as such, had no

1t is announced that when the Grand
Army of the Republic meets in st. Louis in
the fall at least 500 resolutions will be offered
condemning the President for vetoing the
pauper pension bill and for his connection
with the captured flags episode. There are
a few Democrats in the Grand Army of the
Republic, and it is likely that the resolutions
will cause some lively debates. 1t is worthy
of note that the announcement concerning
the condemnatory resolutions confirms the
charge that few ambitious Republican
leaders are trying to make the Grand Army
of the Republic a huge political machine.

A special from Atlanta to the New York
Herald tells story that will doubtless be
the text of many lucubrations upon the part
of Republican newspapers Il is to the
effect that amerchant, the owner of a cross
roads store in Gilmer county, sent to Mr.. A.
Med. Wilson, of Atlanta, a note Offering as
security for small debt a mortgage ION
one negro man." The negro, so the special
says, was fully described. His name was
given as Joe Addison, his age put at 65
years, and the description closed with these
words: HE came to me by my father, and
has been my property for twenty years. "
The story is incredible. Gilmer county is
not so far out of the world that the results
of the war are unknown there, for the
county gave many of her citizens to the
service of the Confederacy. If the truth
were known it would be developed that
there is newspaper correspondent in At
lanta who doesn't find it difficult to make a
sensation out of nothing.

Making Political Capital.

1t seems to be understood at Washington
that the Republican leaders are preparing
to use the battle flags incident for all that it
is worth An edition of the National
Tribune, a weekly sheet owned and pub
lished by pension claim agent at Washing
ton, is to be published containing an account
of the circumstances connected with the
proposed return of the flags. The edition
will contain 100000 copies, and it will be
sent to all the Grand Army posts for dis
tribution among the ex-soldiers.
The National Tribune claims to be non
partisan, but there is no basis for the claim.
This battle flag affair will, it is said, be writ
ten with great care, not for the pur-
pose of conveying an unbiased impression
with regard to it, but to arouse hostility to
the President while seeming to be fair. The
Republican leaders expect that Mr.. Cleve-
land will be the Presidential candidate of
the Democrats and they propose toarray as
much of the soldier vote against his as they
can.
1t is also reported that as soon as Con-
gress meets one of the leading Republicans
of the House will undertake to have the
flags displayed in some one of the public
buildings with the view of making them aid
further still in bringing about Republican
success in the next national election. The
Republicans are shrewd and will not per-
nit any opportunity, which offers chance
to advance the interests of their party, to
pass unimproved. Indeed, it would not be
at all surprising if they should attempt to
get up an exciting debate in Congress over
the flags
1t is pity that the people are not always
told the simple truth. 1t is true that they
find it out sooner or later, but it would be
much better for them if they could get it
without first having so much falsehood i'm
posed upon them. The Republicans intend
to do their utmost to mislead the public
with regard to the battle flags episode. It
is doubtful, however, if they will succeed in
doing Mr.. Cleveland any harm Every one
will hear the truth before the national cam
paign begins, and, besides, it will not be an
easy matter to arouse a very strong feel
ing against him. He has made a
reputation for watching the interests of the
people and doing what he believes to be
right that cannot be easily damaged If he
were more of a politician the Republican
leaders would stand better chance of gain
ing some advantage out of the affair of the
flags.

An ingenious Charleston mechanic,
has patented q new motive
power, which promises to make a
stir in the world of mechanics. The in
ventor claims that it can be attached to any
kind of shafting, and that its power can be
so graduated that it can be employed in
running any kind of machinery, however
simple or complex. The invention consists
of double crank shaft, operated by the vi
bration of long lever. Two short levers
are attached to the long lever near the end
and pivot to the cranks in opposite direc
tons. The long lever swings on ring
directly around Une crank SnaIU, aJUacneu 10
the frame, on both sides of the cranks. The
short levers connect at one end with the
cranls and at the other with the long lever
working directly under it, so that
with push from the long lever both the
short levers push in opposite direc-
tons and revolve the crank, which can be
run at any rate of speed, fast or slow. The
inventor also claims that his movement,
CONSTRUCTED so as to have two levers at
tached to double cracks at right angles, will
completely overcome the dead centre, and
that, by vibrating both levers, the revolu-
ton is quartered. The principal part of the
movement is in the leverage, regulating the
power by whatever length is needed. The
inventor claims that such gear, run by
electricity and applied to street cars, would
not require more than half of the power
now used, nor near SO large motor. The
movement can be either backward or for
ward, and works one way as well as the
other
